Do more with less. Hydro guard is back. Our new formula is more concentrated, more powerful, and more effective than before. Hydro guard's unique formula, available exclusively from Botanicare, contains an isolated form of bacillus bacteria known as bacillus Amyloliquefaciens. This bacterium was selected, specifically, for it's superior ability to amplify root mass and health, especially in hydroponic gardening, when compared with the more common and well known bacillus Subtilis species. Upon application, the highly concentrated and pure culture of bacillus bacteria contained in Hydro guard rapidly colonize the rhizosphere. These specialized rhizobacteria, assist in the breakdown of organic materials, and increase nutrient availability. From seedling to harvest, optimizing the size and health of your roots is the first step towards maximizing your plant's yield. By creating and maintaining an ideal environment surrounding the root zone, you can effectively increase root tissue production and efficiency. Hydro guard contains unique beneficial bacteria, bacillus Amyloliquefaciens, selected specifically for its superior ability to enhance the symbiotic relationship between the roots and their surrounding medium. During the plant's most intense growth phases (i.e. Transplant, transition, and heavy flowering), the demand for certain nutrients and essential trace elements increase and change frequently. To reach their full potential, plants require highly available forms of nutrition only possible through microbial mechanisms. Although plants generate some of these microbes on their own, supplementing with Hydro guard significantly increases and accelerates these mechanisms.

Had an issue with root rot in a DWC caused by using limes as an emergency PH control. Was dang sure those roots were done, but 3 days after adding this they were healed. I'm talking new roots, healing of sick roots, explosive vegetative growth. I have no idea what these bacteria are doing, but it sure as hell works!

Accidentally dropped 2ml on my cat. The cat is now a Tiger. This is a lifesaver for any farmer.

I have been doing hydroponics for over 4 years, I mostly use asrogardens but I also have the cheap ones with bubblers. My roots used to be brown (see first photo). Since using this product the amount of roots that grow are insane. All my gardens around my house have huge roots. So fluffy and white! Plants are much healthier. I am now using it in every thing, even potted plants and seedlings!!! Once you try it you will never go back. Tip: it works best on new plants to establish good roots, it won't totally fix brown roots in old established plants.

I've had a constant nagging problem with root rot ever since starting hydroponics because it's quite warm and humid where I live. I tried hydrogen peroxide mixes, and even bleach mixes but Hydroguard was the only thing that helped. I suspect it's safer than bleach and hydrogen peroxide too. Even with the AC off when I'm not in the room at night, the plants and the water in the tank don't seem to mind with the Hydroguard protecting it. Now I barely have to maintain my plants and they are super healthy and growing at a rapid pace! Seriously great product.

So my plants came down with root rot. This happened because maintaining 68 degrees in a DWC system is extremely difficult without an expensive chiller. I poured in 7 ml of Hydroguard for 3.5 gallons of solution. I saw positive results in a few hours, or maybe it was just wishful thinking. The next day, the roots were solid white and have been ever since. My Siberian Sauerkraut plants never looked better.

The product is five stars easy, I will never do another hydroponics system without this magic liquid. You can save plants you thought where long goners and you will be amazed by this product. Shipping of product has been hit or miss each time I have ordered this. Even with shipping issues I still couldn't give this product any less then 5 stars. Its not the fault of this wonderful product that humans can't place it into a box correctly. If you are considering this product at all buy it immediately. You will not regret your purchase and it will pay for its self.

I tried this after I ran out of Hygrozyme and I was blown away by the results. The roots of my plants look like they went to the dentist. They are just pearly white and beautiful. This product works great.

Worked fantastically. I had issues with root rot in a passive hydroponic setup, which caused havoc on the plants. Symptoms were all over the map showing nutrient burn, and nutrient deficiency. Finally I checked the roots and they were all discolored and foul smelling. Within days of using Hydroguard, new healthy roots were emerging and growing rapidly. I saw other people comment on the speed at which new growth is observable, I was very skeptical. However, now that I have seen it for myself I can say with confidence that this stuff works, and it works fast.

It has become a staple in my aquatic arsenal and is administered with every feed.

Had poor root health due to contaminated water. This took my roots from 10% health to 100% in five days. Roots are exploding and I've never seen them so white. I literally had one of my plants roots double in size overnight. Never seen anything like it.
